   Several Texas state House Democrats ripped up the written agreements   
   that allowed them to leave the chamber with a police escort and returned   
   to the House floor Tuesday night, the caucus announced.   
      
   The lawmakers will spend the night on the House floor with state Rep.   
   Nicole Collier, who has stayed in the chamber for more than 24 hours   
   after declining to sign the “permission slip” to leave.   
      
   House Republicans announced the requirement on Monday when Democrats,   
   who faced civil arrest warrants for leaving the state during a special   
   session, returned from their 15-day quorum break. The Democrats fled the   
   state earlier this month to prevent a vote on a controversial   
   redistricting plan pushed for by President Donald Trump that could   
   potentially eliminate five Democratic US House seats.   
      
   “Who’s ready to tear up this slip?” state Rep. Mihaela Plesa said   
   Tuesday as she tore through the agreement in front of the doors to the   
   House chamber.   
      
   State Rep. Penny Morales Shaw said after returning to the Houston area   
   under police escort, she realized it was a mistake to enter into the   
   agreement, arguing she is now “correcting course.”   
      
   “Yesterday, I left in custody and I came back in custody, because I   
   stand with Nicole Collier and Gene Wu,” she said. “This is illegitimate,   
   this is a wrongful use of power, and I will not condone it, and I don’t   
   want to be a part of setting a very bad and low precedent for future   
   legislators.”   
      
   State Rep. Gene Wu, who leads Texas Democrats in the House, has   
   accompanied Collier on the chamber floor for most of the past day.   
      
   Once again Democrats demonstrate that their word is worth the used   
   toilet paper going down the toilet.   
      
   They made the agreement, all they had to do was keep it and it would   
   have ended.  Way to go stupid Democrats.  Way to go.
